A new year symbolizes fresh beginnings, and what better way to embrace it than with healthy, radiant hair? Whether you’re looking to detox your locks from the buildup of the past year or prep your hair for vibrant color, a Crystal Gel service at your salon is the perfect way to start the year off right.
What is a Crystal Gel Service?
If you’re unfamiliar, a Crystal Gel service is a professional hair product designed to detox your hair. This wellness remedy uses the purest form of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) to remove mineral buildup from hard water, metals, and environmental pollutants that can weigh hair down, cause dullness, and even affect the longevity of your hair color. The result? Hair that feels lighter, looks shinier, and is ready to take on whatever styles or services you have planned.
Why Start the Year with a Detox?
January is all about resetting, and your hair deserves the same TLC as your skin and body. Over time, minerals and impurities accumulate on your strands, creating a barrier that prevents your hair from looking and feeling its best. Here’s why a detox is a game-changer:
- Enhance Shine: A Crystal Gel service removes the dulling layers of buildup, letting your hair’s natural brilliance shine through.
- Boost Color Results: If you’re planning a fresh color or highlights to ring in the new year, detoxing ensures an even application and vibrant results.
- Strengthen Your Strands: By removing damaging impurities, this product helps maintain your hair’s integrity, reducing breakage and promoting healthier hair overall.
When Should You Get a Crystal Gel Service?
The start of the year is ideal, but a Crystal Gel service is beneficial year-round. Here are a few occasions where it can be especially transformative:
- Before a Color Service: To maximize your color’s vibrancy and longevity.
- After Swimming: To remove chlorine and mineral deposits.
- During Seasonal Transitions: To combat environmental stressors like sun, wind, or cold weather.
What to Expect During Your Service
Your stylist will clarify your hair with our Un-Do-Goo >pH9 Clarifying Shampoo to remove product buildup and resin. They will then activate and apply the Crystal Gel, which works its magic by gently removing impurities from your hair. You’ll sit under a dryer or constant heat source for up to 45 minutes for Crystal Gel to do its job. Your stylist will take you back to the shampoo bowl to remove the impurities that Crystal Gel has captured. These results can vary. You may see an orange/brown color that could indicate iron buildup or even a green/blue color that would indicate oxidized copper found commonly in swimming pools. After rinsing, your stylist will apply Miracle Repair Hair Reconstructor to provide plant-based proteins that restore strength to your hair. After your dry and style, you’ll immediately feel the difference as your hair becomes noticeably softer and more manageable. It’s a high-quality service with long-lasting results, making it an easy addition to your next salon visit.
